You mean trémas, you German boor.

Switzerland is so clean and neat and postcard-looking, it slightly depresses me every time I drive through it. Also fucking expensive.

Ehm, except for air traffic control, air travel is a private business almost all over the world and definitely in Europe. Short distance discount air travel is just as shitty as in the US, you get what you pay for. Only intercontinental travel still has entertainment, food and drinks included.
But if it's any…

Oh yeah, we also switched to a special, extra stable version of Windows. Microsoft says it's intended for ultra critical systems like life support or aerospace control. It doesn't have stuff like Edge and the Microsoft Store. Who needs those you ask? Well, we develop apps that are distributed through the Microsoft…

Deep Blue Sea 2: Electric Blue Lagoon was right there!

I work for a small company. We work for the government and there is some sensitive information on our network, nothing top secret. But our IT is turning us into Fort Knox. To get a guest on the special guest-wifi is now an eight step procedure, with a less than 10% success rate, due to human or technical error. To…

I haven't seen security question in years. But I'll happily take something like the name of my highschool and then just lie. Hopefully in a way I can remember.

Hahaha, four to six weeks. How innocent and optimistic we were, a mere three days ago, about the glorious tenure of Mr. Scaramucci, thinking it might even last for several months.

Something I've never understood about peppers: If a recipe for 4 persons calls for 2 chilli peppers and you scale that up to 40 persons, putting in 20 chillies will make it WAY too hot. This is something I've intuitively understood every time I've cooked for large groups, but can't explain scientifically.

Well, judge John Hodgman has precedent for that. If I remember correctly, you are allowed two pieces of taxidermy without permission of a loved one.

I am not.

Was it good though? Was it?

The villain is a ransomware virus. This shit almost writes itself.

After hearing a lot of good things about the Lego movie, mostly on this site, I finally watched it some time ago. I thought it was pretty bad. My wife thought it was absolute shit and couldn't believe I subjected her to that loud piece of crap. It almost caused a marital crisis.

Pro tip: sometimes popular museums have one afternoon or evening a week where they have free admission. If so, visit on the morning of that day, before the free admission starts. No lines, no crowds, you have the place virtually to yourselves.

You might be on to something there.

You are not alone in that theory. Also it's bullshit.

I haven't even seen the pyramids in their current state and would love to. But what I really want is to see them in their original state. Polished white marble, with a golden top. That must have been truly magnificent. Probably the most impressive piece of architecture ever and they did that almost 5000 years ago.

And the Nightwatch was even bigger before they cut pieces of all sides for a move sometime in the 18th century.

I was born and raised in the village where Van Gogh did most of his Dutch work. We could have been the home of the Van Gogh museum but apparently at the time they thought it would be a lot of hassle, let Amsterdam deal with that. Now they're desperate to get some of the Van Gogh tourism.
But if you want to visit one of…
